Abstract

The laser cavities of Ti:Sa and Nd:YLF laser have been designed for the multi-collision laser Compton scattering (Multi-LCS) in order to enhance the X-ray yields of the LCS hard and soft X-ray source. This cavity is like the regenerative amplification including a laser crystal and a collision point for LCS. The enhanced X-ray yield was estimated more than about 1 times 10⁹/s using the intra-cavity stored energy. In this conference, we will describe details of the laser cavity design for the Multi-LCS and future plans of the LCS X-ray sources.
